Genshin Impact fishing is here at last, making miHoYo’s massive open-world experience a true RPG at last.
It’s an expansive system with fishing spots dotted across the entire world. You’ll need to fish quite a bit to unlock some of the more advanced bait, though.
How to get a fishing rod in Genshin Impact
The fishing system is only open to those at Adventure Rank 30 or higher. You’ll also need to complete the initial Serenitea Pot world question that opens before the Inazuma prologue. Finish that if you haven’t already.
Travel to Mondstadt after downloading the Genshin 2.1 update, and speak with Katheryne at the Adventurer’s Guild. This starts a short quest that’s basically a fishing tutorial. Follow the prompts, and speak with Nanuck to learn the basics. He’ll also give you a basic rod and some basic bait.
You can collect additional rods themed after each region by speaking with the Fishing Association representative of that nation and exchanging certain fish for the new rod.
How to fish in Genshin Impact
With rod and bait in hand, find a fishing spot, and cast your line. If you’re using the right bait, a fish or two will approach the lure and bite.
Use the fishing button to keep the meter in the yellow box until you’ve caught the fish. Staying outside the box too long will eventually snap the line.
